The Advanced Course takes place during your last two years in college as elective courses. It includes one elective class and lab each semester in addition to the requisite physical training and field training exercises, plus a summer leadership camp (the Leader Development and Assessment Course or "LDAC"). Each class is worth three credits and the lab is worth one. You will learn advanced military tactics and gain experience in team organization, planning and decision-making. To benefit from the leadership training in the Advanced Course, all Cadets must have already completed either the Basic Course, have prior military service, or have attended the Leader's Training Course. Entering the Advanced Course requires that a Cadet sign a contract and commit to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Army after you graduate.
